Summary
In this paper we present new Volume of Fluid two phase model with surface tension. The model is based on the staggered, implicit in time Finite Volume discretization of basic equations, using so called rotated elements. Interface adaptive and/or interface aligned deformable grids are reconstructed at each time step with help of the Piecewise Linear Interface Calculation Method. First and second order Langrangian propagation of one fluid with respect to regular mesh is introduced as alternative to the Eulerian split advection algorithm. The simulations of buoyant bubbles are compared with the theoretical predictions and the SURFER code numerical computations.
